Isn’t it always this airline that has trouble? Or is it just confirmation bias?
It’s a slightly misleading title. it’s a crash of a private jet in Malaysia, and nothing to do with the company Malaysia Airlines
You consider reading the article. It wasnt Malaysia air, it was a private jet in Malaysia. Only 8 people on board thankfully.
Well fuck people in private jets and fuck them for landing on a car and motorbike, killing innocent bystanders.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A number of people are feared dead after a private jet crashed into a road while attempting to land in Malaysia.
Two motorists and eight people on board the plane were killed when it hit Guthrie Highway near Elmina, police said.
The plane, a Beechcraft Model 390, was travelling from Langkawi to Selangor and was attempting to land when it crashed.
Selangor police chief told Reuters news agency that the aircraft lost contact with the air traffic control tower two minutes before it was due to touch down at the city’s Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport.
“There was no emergency call, the aircraft had been given clearance to land,” Hussein Omar Khan said.
“A total of six passengers and two flight crew were on board and their conditions have yet to be confirmed,” Norazman Mahmud, the chief executive of the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM), said.
